BrightCard enables businesses to maximize the advantages to be gained from the integration of smart card, RFID, and NFC technology into their value chains.

A smart card is a plastic card about the size of a credit card, with an embedded microchip that can be loaded with data, used for telephone calling, electronic cash payments, and other applications, and then periodically refreshed for additional use.

RFID may be embedded into a number of items in order to control access, track products, and streamline various processes. We can help you figure out which implementation is right for your processes.

NFC allows portable devices to establish peer-to-peer communications. Data may be passed from one device to another by contact or close proximity. Most cell phones now support NFC, making it a cost-effective solution.

We advise clients on the graphic design of cards, and have software tools designed specifically to ease the process of setting up the layout. We can arrange for batch production, and can ensure the lowest cost to our clients.

We provide consultation on how you can streamline operations through smart card and contactless technologies. RFID tags can lower cost and increase efficiency.

Applications:

Contactless Smart Cards

Contactless RFID Cards are extremely durable. Because they need not contact card readers, they see little wear. Furthermore, they are extremely resistant to dirt and moisture.

Inside contactless cards are a microchip and an antenna. The microchip controls all communication with the reader, as well as data storage, data encryption and security of access. There are different types of microchips which may be used, to support multiple applications.

In general, contactless cards are available in 3 main RFID frequencies:

Low Frequency (LF) Cards with 125 kHz

High Frequency (HF) Cards with 13.56 MHz

Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Cards with 860-960 MHz

We offer card design and personalization options, as well as software to manage card templates.
